| Thanks Steve. Been reading about your trip to the track with Karl on FEP. Bet you're glad to be back in game! | |

| WOW Steve,
That is an absolutely gorgeous boxtop you have!!! I haven't been as successful as you in my searches. I've been looking for a 2 dr boxtop and a station wagon for 9 years now. Just found a maroon '81 wagon two weeks ago and purchased it. This is only the second one I've come accross here in the Oklahoma City area. I still haven't found a 2 dr boxtop. Some day I'll find a white one like I'm looking for, I hope! I might not be able to be that picky, since I haven't found one around here yet. I have been searching for the elusive SROD manual trans setup for a 200 also. I'd love to have a white 2 dr boxtop with a 200/SROD setup. That is still a dream of mine. Congrats on such a beautiful car.

| Appreciate the comments Darrell. With the heavy winter road salt up here F/Z's rusted quickly. I got lucky and found my driver in Ontario. Not mint like a western car but a solid platform to start with. In the event you come across an SROD donor you'll find the shifter turret in either the forward or rear mounted position. Mine was in a bench seat car and closer to the front. When I first found the trans Mike (Aug - forum member) confirmed he had changed out his SROD shift rail & tube to mount it rearward for bucket seats. Was able to source the pieces and plan to do the same. Steve | |

| Wow! I did not know there were two different styles of SROD's. Thanks for the heads up on the front and rear mount shifters.

| Pic below is before previous owner painted it. Interior base colour was the same as my parts car and I switched the seats, installed plain bumpers, and went back to stock wheels & covers. Not partial to the red and may take it back to original code 81 colour - Russet Metallic. Steve | |
